Superfund Redevelopment Focus List

The Redevelopment Focus List is an initial list of Superfund National Priorities List sites with the greatest expected redevelopment and commercial potential. EPA developed this list in response to the Superfund Task Force Recommendations, issued July 25, 2017, which outlined Administrator Pruitt’s expectations for a renewed focus on accelerating work and progress at all Superfund sites while working to successfully return Superfund sites to productive use in communities across the country.

Superfund redevelopment has helped communities reclaim and reuse thousands of acres of formerly contaminated land. EPA believes the sites on the list have significant redevelopment potential based on previous outside interest, access to transportation corridors, land values, and other critical development drivers.

EPA will focus redevelopment training, tools and resources towards the sites on this list. EPA will work with developers interested in reusing these and other Superfund sites; will identify potentially interested businesses and industries to keep them apprised of redevelopment opportunities; and will continue to engage with community groups in cleanup and redevelopment activities to promote the successful redevelopment and revitalization of their communities.

This is not a complete list, rather it easily directs interested developers and potential owners to Superfund sites with redevelopment potential. The list is intended to be dynamic; sites will move on and off the list as appropriate.

EPA remains dedicated to addressing risks and accelerating progress at all Superfund sites, not just those on the list. The Task Force Recommendations are aimed at expediting cleanup at all Superfund sites.
